-## Installation
+## Installation Using Docker (recommend)
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Docker
+
+### Step-by-Step Guide
+
+1. **Clone the repository**:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/wenbinyugroup/swiftcomp-api.git
+cd swiftcomp-api
+```
+2. **Building the Docker Image**:
+You can build a Docker image for the FastAPI app using the following command:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t swiftcomp-api .
+```
+3. **Running the Docker Container**:
+Once the image is built, you can run the application in a Docker container:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 8000:8000 swiftcomp-api
+```
+This will run the SwiftComp API app in a container and map port 8000 from the container to your local machine. You can access the application at http://localhost:8000.
+
+4. **Running Tests Inside the Docker Container**:
+To run the tests inside the running Docker container:
+
+```bash
+docker exec $(docker ps -q -f ancestor=swiftcomp-api) bash -c "PYTHONPATH=./ pytest"
+```
+This command sets the `PYTHONPATH` and runs `pytest` inside the running Docker container.
+
+5. **Monitoring Logs**:
+To monitor the logs from the running Docker container in real time:
+
+```bash
+docker logs -f <container_id_or_name>
+```
+You can get the container ID or name by running:
+
+```bash
+docker ps
+```
